Please give me your favorite cake frosting recipes!?

I make a PEANUT BUTTER ICING that is out of this world. It is especially good on chocolate cake, but my co workers have been known to eat it on most anything.





PEANUT BUTTER ICING





1 cup Butter at room temp


1 cup Peanut butter


4 cups Powdered Sugar


3 to 4 Tablespoons milk


2 Teaspoons Vanilla





Cream the butter with the peanut butter until smooth. Add half of the powdered sugar, the vanilla and 2 tablespoons of the milk. Mix well. Add the remainder of the powdered sugar. Very slowly add the remaining milk until it is the texture what you want. You may not need all of the milk.





Beat until light and fluffy.





Like I said, great with chocolate cake, OREOS, graham crackers, Nutter Butters....You get the idea.

Well this is not a cake icing ( I guess you could use it if you wanted; maybe with a butter pecan cake ), but I love Paula Deen's brown butter icing that she uses on her ultimate oatmeal cookies. OOOh! Almost better than sex!





Brown butter icing





1/2 cup (1 stick) butter


3 cups sifted confectioners sugar


1 t. vanilla extract


3-4 T. water





In a small saucepan, heat the butter over medium heat until golden brown, stirring occasionally. Remove the saucepan from the heat; stir in the sugar and vanilla. Stir in enough water to make an icing of drizzling consistency. Drizzle over her ultimate oatmeal cookies. Recipe follows just in case you wanted it! Hope this helps! :) Also, I left out the raisons because I do not like them, but you could leave them in if you like. I also substitued walnuts for pecans.

Ease of preparation: Easy
1 stick of butter flavored crisco


1 stick room temp unsalted butter


2 tbs of water


1 lb of powdered sugar


1 tsp of popcorn salt


1 tsp of meringue powder


1 oz melted dark chocolate


1/3 cup coco powder





Put crisco and butter in your food processor and blend. Add the sugar a little at a time with a little water each time (may need more than 2 tbsp but err on the side of too thick)


Add salt and meringue powder


add chocolate and coco powder


Blend for about 5-7 minutes


This is enough chocolate icing for 1 cake





Or look up the recipie for 7 Minute Icing. You have to make and frost the cake a day ahead of time because it needs time to set and get crunchy.
